Socioeconomic differentials in fertility and their proximate determinants

As described in previous chapters, apart from the overall trend in fertility rates approaching or even falling below the replacement level, the fertility transition in the region has varied from country to country in terms of onset date, speed, and pre-transitional and current levels. There is also variation within countries, associated with socioeconomic inequalities between territories and population groups.
